I just talked with Lori (7pm edt) and she is at hospital with her son.

They have not been able to do operation yet as his blood plateletts are too low.

They have inserted a chest tube and have him on strong pain meds.

Please say prayers for his recovery.

    Thank you everyone
    I just got home. I had to let the dog out!

    My son is resting comfortably in ICU after adding ativan and increasing is pain med dosage. He has a chest tube in and it is relieving some pressure but, his lung has colasped so breathing is still difficult for him. I will stay at home tonight so I can let the dog out in the morning before I head back to the hospital. His girl friend is staying the night with him so there is someone there. I will take the day shift so she can go to work. Thank goodness I didn't have chemo this week. Whew!

    Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. They are greatly appreciated.

    Here is info
    From Lori:
    I wanted to let you know, since you are my buddy Ms. Marie Kitties, that I am very occupied with my son's health right now. We had to take him into the ER last night as he couldn't breath. He has pleural effusion and they are operating today to drain the accumulation of fluid from around his lungs and heart. I just wanted to let you know in case anyone on the board misses me the next couple of days.

    That was on the 21st. Lori has posted an update a bit up from your post.
